A judge has thrown out four claims for a total of â¬240,000 in damages arising from an accident close to the Border in which four occupants of a car that was ârear-endedâ claimed to have sustained significant injuries.
Judge James McCourt described the difference in medical reports provided by Dundalk doctor John Murphy for the four plaintiffs and the histories recorded on their complaints by Blackrock Clinic orthopaedic surgeon Garry Fenelon, who had examined each of the plaintiffs on behalf of defendant South County Self Drive, Rochestown Avenue, Dun Laoghaire, Co Dublin, as âremarkableâ.
The rear-ending incident happened on December 1st 2014 on a slip road off the M1 motorway at Carrickdale, Dundalk.
